While at Whole Foods today I spotted a bottle of 2009 (Enos Vineyards) Tramonto Zinfandel RRV. So, since we just had Tramonto Rose, thanks to Texicaliali, I thought I'd give it a try. Pretty easy drinker. Good fruit. Not too expensive. For $18, worth the money.

2005 Arcadian Westerly Vineyard Syrah. This is tasting much better on night 2 to me, but it still doesn't measure up to the best Santa Ynez Syrahs I've had. Looks like I paid $16 on Woot for it, which is a decent price.

Color is a deep red but completely clear, wine is called pink but it is a much deeper hue than any rosé I have had before. Completely enjoyable and refreshing. Nose is reminiscent of a watermelon jolley rancher but without he sweetness. Not heavy in the least bit but packs a ton of flavor. Highly recommended.

That's what I had too! The wine, not the pasta and pork. We had a pesto pizza with white and shiitake mushrooms, broccoli, and steak. Wasn't the best match, but the wine needed the time to open up somewhat anyway.

Very nice! From your CT review, it doesn't appear you favored it as well as I.

Oh, I quite enjoyed it. I'm not quite used to Meeker's style, this only being my third of his to try. I think it needed more time to fully express itself, and I'm not spending as much time these days making detailed notes. I've started to use CT most often as a way of triggering my memory to decide when to open the next
